I haven't heard any mention of her since she tested positive.

Weelll

One of his ex wives had said he violently raped her.

Maybe another one as well?

He is on tape talking about grabbing women by the pussy. Casual like.

I've read stuff from women/ girls then who were involved with... What was that man called? Who conveniently died in prison. Anyway. That he actively raped girls. I think this is all in the public arena.

Yes I feel sorry for her. I do worry about her. She obviously can't stand him. But does what he says. Come nearer. Smile.

Money doesn't cushion women from. Well god only knows what.

NoSleepTil · 20/10/2020 01:22

Don’t feel sorry for her one bit. She was all in on that birther bullshit. Anyway, she doesn’t even live in the WH, she lives in Potomac, MD, with her parents, and is having an affair with the head of security at Tiffany

NiceGerbil · 20/10/2020 01:30

Erm. Really? I'm not American, where do you know that from?

I find it unlikely a controlling narcissist would be ok with anything but capitulation.

Yes I worry about her. He's. Not to dodge words. Very very very likely a violent rapist with form for attacking at least one spouse.

If you lie down with dogs, you catch fleas.

Girlzroolz · 20/10/2020 01:54

If they’re still married in 5 years, I’ll eat my hat.

She is so chock full of repulsion for him, she can barely move or speak for fear it’ll come spilling out and she’ll cave his stoopid orange head in. It’s not just Botox.

She’d just better get the divorce timing right, before the burgers or the tax department get him.

She has too much agency in her life to warrant my sympathy. Too many other worthier women around for me to concern myself with.

NiceGerbil · 20/10/2020 01:55

What does that comment actually mean?.

If you're a model and you marry a rich man who is a bonkers narcissist then you should expect to be subdued and terrified possibly with violence and rape...?

I think that seems fair TBH.

She obviously hates him.

Anyone on this thread. How easy do you think it is to say no to Donald trump...

NiceGerbil · 20/10/2020 02:00

How does she have agency.

He owns her.

Figgyboa · 20/10/2020 04:14

@NiceGerbil

I very much doubt she's ok being married to him.

SimonJT · 20/10/2020 04:22

I don’t have sympathy for the choices she has made, however some of the body language/facial expressions in videos do worry me as rather than disgust etc they look more like a reaction to fear.

She openly admitted on tape that she gives zero shits about immigrant children being locked in cages away from their parents.

caughtalightsneeze · 20/10/2020 04:27

I'm torn. I don't think anyone deserves to be mistreated. But I do find it hard to feel massively sympathetic towards her because his reputation as a narcissistic misogynist didn't just appear after she married him. She must have weighed that all up in her head and decided that the financial gain would outweigh the mistreatment. Although she almost certainly didn't think she was taking on the role of future First Lady.

I'd love to see her divorce him but I do actually feel that his ego wouldn't allow that and she may be stuck with him permanently as that's her safest option.

Namechangeme87 · 20/10/2020 04:39

For those jumping down ops throat

The thread was started in relevance to melanin having covid , other posters have now swayed that to talking about her more generally

Namechangeme87 · 20/10/2020 04:39

Melania even
Confused

MerchantOfVenom · 20/10/2020 04:46

I’m sure she’s absolutely fine, and beyond delighted to have the excuse to isolate from him, and the world, for 14 days - if not any more, if she can wrangle it for herself.

If that obese, decrepit buffoon can recover so quickly - thanks to state of the art medicine and care - I’m sure she will, too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

She will be loving not having to be around him, or indeed the American people, while she gets over her mild case of Covid.

I have no sympathy for her - why on earth would you have sympathy for the life choices a grown adult makes...? Confused

daisychain01 · 20/10/2020 04:53

Whatever happens to her, she's never ever going to have to worry about where her next mortgage payment is coming from, or how she will put food on her table, or buy clothes etc.

She may have other concerns, but they aren't the basics of life, which are the concerns of millions of Americans in low paid jobs with no worker rights and constant risk of catching Covid19 because of the dreadful working conditions they have to exist in to earn a dollar a day, with no access to health care. Need I go on....

daisychain01 · 20/10/2020 05:00

@MerchantOfVenom I'm far from the greatest conspiracy theorist, but I really doubt he even caught COVID-19. From the moment it was announced it was so stage-managed, him coming out and stepping into the helicopter in his suit and being flown off to a hospital, staying holed up there for a few days then emerging "Tadaaaaaa look at me, Lazarus, raised from the dead".

Trouble is, it played to the Americans who love a good-news story with a happy ending. You only have to look at his rallies, they are all stage-managed using paid 'employees'. It's sad how toxic his influence is on the American people.

Pixxie7 · 20/10/2020 05:05

Do you think she has any sympathy for the thousands of families who have lost loved ones because of her husbands handling of Covid?

Mummyoflittledragon · 20/10/2020 05:48

I am watching a lot of CNN atm. It was announced yesterday or the day before that she has tested negative twice. She’s fine.

Chamomileteaplease · 20/10/2020 06:39

What I can't understand is, and would love someone to answer - when she chose to marry this man, why didn't she pick almost any other older, rich man in America?

I mean, surely, any other man would have been more bearable, politician or not?

daisychain1620 · 20/10/2020 06:46

I've always had a sneaking suspicion that she is one of those Fembots from the Austin Power movie. Covid will have no ill effectGrin

LongPauseNoAnswer · 20/10/2020 06:58

She openly admitted on tape that she gives zero shits about immigrant children being locked in cages away from their parents

This is why I have no sympathy for her. She knew full well what she was getting into. IMO she’s just a cold and calculating as he is. Yes she clearly is repulsed by him but who isn’t?

lljkk · 20/10/2020 07:13

Marla managed to leave with Tiffany. When Tiffany was only 5.
Melania has citizenship now, could leg it with Baron.
Melania chooses not to leave.

MerchantOfVenom · 21/10/2020 01:12

So not seems the latest is - she is not joining at his latest rally / hate-fest, as she has a ‘lingering cough’.

Sounds like just as I said - she is using this as a golden opportunity to avoid her awful husband and the American people.

Fear not, OP.

MerchantOfVenom · 21/10/2020 01:13

I think the divorce papers are already in an envelope with his name on, the minute he leaves the White House she’ll be off.
IdblowJonSnow · 21/10/2020 01:54

I feel a bit sorry for her too.
All the comments about there are people more worthy of pity, well yes, quite. But its possible to feel sorry for several people simultaneously!
If I knew someone who married any old horrible bloke, I'd still feel sorry for them whether or not "they knew what they were getting into". It's a bit of an odd attitude to me.
Agree she looks like she cant bear him and who could blame her?
